For two days, the hosts of Fox & Friends have misrepresented President Obama's reference during a conference call with religious leaders about health care reform to those "bearing false witness," suggesting that Obama -- who, in the words of Gretchen Carlson, "has not chosen a church yet" -- was saying, in Steve Doocy's words, "anybody who disagrees with him is breaking a commandment -- is a sinner and a liar." In fact, Obama was not calling out opponents of health insurance reform, but rather those who have misinformed about it, stating: "I know there's been a lot of misinformation in this debate, and there are some folks out there who are, frankly, bearing false witness, but I want everyone to know what health insurance reform is all about."

Rather than fuel the generation or phony self-righteousness in these viewers, if they really wanted to be of service they'd provide psychological help that would enable these viewers to actually feel good about themselves without having to put somebody else down to create the comparison to do it.
It's just tragic that the viewers can't see how they're being manipulated.
